A bright, top-floor one-bedroom in a handsome Victorian conversion, set moments from Kensington High Street and local transport. The open-plan reception and modern kitchen make efficient use of the compact 422 sq ft, while high ceilings and sash windows retain period character and natural light.
Designed for practical city living, the double bedroom includes fitted cupboards and the bathroom is modern. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the building benefits from mains gas central heating. The flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-flood-risk central London home with immediate rental or owner-occupier appeal.
Buyers should note this is a small property with 92 years remaining on the lease, an average service charge of £1,922 and ground rent of £150. The building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), and the area records above-average crime — both factors to consider for comfort and refurbishment planning.
Overall this is a compact, characterful apartment that trades size for location: excellent local amenities, fast broadband and superb transport links make it a convenient urban base, but budget for ongoing service charges and potential upgrading where insulation and ventilation are concerned.
